flea market finds: comfy and cute

bbbrrr! its getting quite nippy day after day now and the only thing thats keeping me going when it gets cold here is the thought of christmas :) but i don't want to jump the gun yet because the anticipation makes me ridiculously giddy!

in the meantime, since its the perfect weather for cuddling, hot chocolates and pretty much being the CEO of the sofa (according to the mister), my thrifting adventure finds seem to coincide with his comfortable and laid-back theme:
although the color of this hippy 70's flower power cushion is subdued (navy blue and white), i can't help but think "groovy, baby!", and for .20p? smashing!
this pair of blue 100% cotton cushion covers with a Made in India tag was £1 each. imported by The Factory Store, they were new too and was still in their packaging when i bought them :)
i have been on the lookout for quilts ever since i saw the modern fabric designs over in the USofA. either they are color blocks with cheerful color schemes or japanese-inspired or even the patchwork, good ole made-by-granny quilts found in garage sales and estate sales, i have been in love with them for like forever and the stories they bring :) so the moment i walked into my favorite shop and saw this £5 faded but still sturdy, 100% cotton, machine-washable beauty, i knew she had to be mine :)
on the subject of cute however, found this cute Hello Kitty ring and immediately thought of my feline-loving sister from the red dot in the Pacific ;)
i also found this pair of silver citrus-y rings for .50p each under a pile of costume jewelry. there is no mark on them but they are a bit heavy. i really am loving their colors :)

hhmmmm...since my jewelry collection is once again burgeoning, do you think i should open an Etsy shop? tell me what you think!
